(Chicago Sun Times) — Mayoral candidate Carol Moseley Braun has unveiled her plans to improve the process of allocating contracts to minority- and women-owned businesses. Calling the issue one of “grave importance,” Braun said: “It goes to the heart of defining our community as one of inclusion and diversity or exclusion and cabals.” If elected, Braun said, she would demand enforcement of regulations; improve access to capital by encouraging investment in Chicago; provide technical assistance to those interested in bidding, give priority to in-state contractors; create transparency by putting more of the process online, and appoint an auditing team to track the money.
